Personal Stories
How did Hurtle die?
My grandmother, Ivey (nee Gardner) lost two brothers in WW1. The family story is that Hurtle went to Adelaide (for innoculations?) and was injected with a dirty needle. He died as a result. However the official records say that he died of a lympho-sarcoma. I have always wondered which is the true story. The word 'coverup' sounds harsh but I wonder if there are similar stories out there.
